My fiancee is making her POE at the Peace Bridge this weekend. We are importing her Silverado truck and a camping trailer also. The CBP says that we need to fill out the EPA form 3520-1 and the DOT form HS-7 to show that it meets the US standards. They also said we need to fill out the DOT form for the camping trailer.

I didn't recall seeing anyone mentioning these forms in there checklists. Does the CBP typically fill these out for you? We do have our conformance letter for the truck and the camping trailer has a label that says it meets U.S. and Canadian safety standards.

Thanks for any helpful tips you may have for us!

I don't know for sure, but their was 1 couple who crossed in Albert that had the stickers and that was not enough for the POE officer!! But thats only 1 case!! If down the rd u do need the proper paperwork to get ur car registered (assuming POE officers dont do it correctly) One can goto the closest international airport and get it done I believe!! But dont quote me on any of that,lol Im sure it wil go fine! You could contact GMC and try and get the compliance letter. I know Nissan faxed it to me for free in a few minutes! But some manufacturers charge a fee and snail mail it!!

Thanks,

We do have the compliance letter for the truck already. I was just wondering if others filled in the EPA and DOT forms prior to arriving at the border or did the CBP fill those in for you?
